What did Abbey get?

Lots of Star Wars stuff. Some Pokemon toys. A DS and some games. Some clothes. Other toy things.

I had to wait till I was 12 till I got a DS :p

Abbey pwns you.

Your parents probably aren't into video games.

They're into the Devil.

Too bad I repped you recently. That made me laugh.

Heheh.

The only person who ever got a video game for Christmas when I was younger in our house was my Mum, with Abe's Oddysee.

Well, I guess they kind of are into video games, then.

I just don't place the stigma on video games that a lot of parents do, I guess. I limit the amount of time that she can play but other than that I have no problem with it.

I got:

Left 4 Dead

Mirror's Edge

New Hoodie

New Gloves

Jelly Belly Jelly Beans

Big box of Biscuits

The Dark Knight and Hancock

Strange thing was...No books :(

Your parents probably aren't into reading.

I don't like to ask my parents for much during Christmas especially this year, but luckily I don't need to I have a big family.

I got...

$100 gift card
Lots of clothes
Panzer Dragoon Orta - Xbox
Sonic Unleashed - PS3
Shenmue II - Dreamcast
Pikmin 2 - Gamecube
25th anniversary Optimus Prime
Dark Knight movie masters Joker
Some DVDs and some books

Shenmue II ftw, but you should've got the Xbox version. just playa hatin on your dreamcast.

Despite the smoother graphics, and higher number of characters able to appear on screen at once, I enjoyed the Dreamcast version more (but probably just because of the sake of organisation - if I'm buying a series of games, I like to have them on the same system so they're on the same shelf).

I apologise, you weren't talking to me.

Last year was a Carl Sagan Christmas. This year seems more focused on Cosmology.

The Never-Ending Days of Being Dead: Dispatches from the Front Line of Science by Marcus Chown

I'm going to be insufferable this year.
